Man United and Spurs Monitoring Anderlecht’s Nilson Angulo After Scout-Observed Winner

Fresh scouting in Brussels underscores interest, with a long Anderlecht contract tempering near-term prospects.

Overview

  • Manchester United and Tottenham have been tracking the 22-year-old Ecuadorian winger, with Brighton, Brentford and Leeds also cited as suitors.
  • Reports say more than half a dozen scouts attended Anderlecht’s win over Union SG on November 30, where Angulo scored the decisive goal.
  • Angulo has produced four goals and eight assists this season and profiles as a left-sided attacker noted for pace and 4.12 successful take-ons per 90 last season.
  • A January transfer is viewed as uncertain as Angulo focuses on Ecuador’s World Cup plans, with interest more likely to crystallize later in 2026.
  • Angulo is tied to Anderlecht until 2029, a position that could drive a premium fee, and separate reporting notes United are prioritising midfield reinforcements.
